Hestia Tapestry,6th Century

The Hestia Tapestry is a Byzantine-era pagan tapestry made in the Diocese of Egypt in the 6th century. It is now in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection in Washington DC. The Hestia tapestry, which is made of wool, is a late representation of the goddess Hestia. It shows the goddess enthroned with two attendants and six putti. The tapestry is identified in Greek as Hestía Polýolbos or Hestia full of Blessings and is depicted mainly through the use of pomegranate fruit. Her headdress and earrings are made from pomegranates while the blessings that Hestia gives out are in the form of the fruit.
